The new IPCC report released this week says that we are near climate disaster if we don't take action. We need to implement climate solutions fast. In a nutshell, here is what the IPCC recommends:
1) Making an enormous investment into renewable solar and wind energy;
2) Electrify everything to run on renewable energy;
3) Focus on energy conservation and efficiency;
4) Create investments in research on transportation and building materials;
5) Stop deforestation for animal agriculture and focus on nature-based carbon solutions.
This call to action is clear, but nearly everyone we know is overwhelmed by the reality of climate news. Veteran activists are exhausted. And everyone else who is paying attention is often unsure where to even start.
